First half was a bit patchy at times but I thought we were really good at times in the second half, no matter how poor Huddersfield were (which they really were).
Barkley was a real positive and I look forward to seeing him and Barkley linking up. Kante was superb but it’s almost completely expected now.
Is it me or is Kepa Arrizabalaga a little on the small side as far as goalkeepers go?
Bring on Arsenal.

(Personally) I’ve never understood that. If we’re winning I don’t care if we’re likeable or attractive to watch. The Cup Final was a dreadful game of football - loved every minute of it.
I get it if it all adds up to consistent success but I don’t think there’s any guarantee of that. I’d happily accept pragmatism.
(Yeah I’m fun at parties 😂)

Right, I haven’t watched a minute of preseason (genuinely can’t be bothered with friendlies any more) but I’m quite up for this before the real stuff begins!
I expect us to win this today, seems like the philosophy at the club is reversing with Sarri’s appointment. Tough game but I think Man City will be at half pace.
COME ON YOU CHELS!!!

What a place this has become - I’m not here for any of that negativity, none of it. Each and every one of you can stick that right up yourselves: this is a CUP FINAL FFS.
Can’t wait for this game, a massive test for our players. They can really use today to salvage as much as possible from what we all know was a pretty desperately mediocre league season. Forget all that has gone before, the FA Cup Final is a chance to write yourself into folklore at ANY club in the game. Don’t let that opportunity pass you by!
What a chance to make amends for the false start that was last year’s final. We entered that as big favourites and ended up losing; today we enter as underdogs but we can definitely do this - this is a bang-average Man Utd team and we should’ve beaten them twice this season. The thing in their favour is Mourinho knows how to win finals. Now it’s our turn to do something about that.
I’ll be doing my best to roar our boys on from the upper tier at Wembley and I hope you’ll be doing the same everywhere you are.
We can DO this!
COME ON YOU CHELS!!!
believe.

It had to happen one day but it doesn’t make it any less gutting that it has.
Should’ve been 3-0 up at half-time and, as at Man Utd, we contrived to go in at 1-1.
Their third goal was extraordinary. Up there with the worst collective pieces of Chelsea defending I’ve ever seen. This team has no backbone and no guts - can’t finish chances to kill a big game, can’t stop a team coming back, can’t come back ourselves when behind.
Everyone is to blame for the present situation - Conte, the players, the ‘board’. No one is blameless, it was completely avoidable.
Funny thing is I can still see us beating Tottenham in a cup final, as that would be the most Tottenham thing ever - finally celebrate beating us at the Bridge but to actually kiss out on the silverware again.
Nigh-on impossible for us to finish top 4 now - hate to be downbeat but winning the Europa League next season might be our best bet to get back in the CL again.

HUGE game. Pretty much must-win (although a draw wouldn’t actually be the death knell).
From a personal point of view I very much doubt I will be able to watch the second half live unfortunately so if we could be 4-0 up at half time that would be just super, thanks.
Want a 100% committed performance from every single one of our boys out there today. Stop at nothing. Don’t accept anything less than coming away from this match with 3 points. As I’m not at the ground today it’s a bit rich for me to ask our fans to be vocal but we really need the Bridge to be a cauldron this afternoon. No messing about.
COME ON YOU CHELS!!!

Courtois is better than Cech at present, Cech is sadly a shadow of what he was at his best judging by his struggles at Arsenal this season. I would’ve kept Cech over Courtois in 2015 as I thought he had more left in him, which he probably did to be fair, but that ship has long gone.
I do think however that Courtois is overrated and has almost undeniably regressed over the last 3 years. Why? Not so sure, however I think we should look to upgrade as I haven’t been impressed by Courtois for a long while even before that shambles on Wednesday.
